Image credit: styleblog.ca

Mother of collaboration! After what seemed like an eternity, the moment we've all been waiting for is finally here! The Alexander Wang x H&M collection will hit stores on 6th November 2014. Rihanna was the first celeb to give us a glimpse of the collab a few months ago, wearing matching separates in the form of a grey crop top and leggings. If that wasn't enough to get you excited for the collection, then your're gonna looove the lookbook!

The collection is exactly what we've come to expect of Wang. It's sports luxe at its best! The color palette is muted, dominated with mostly grey and black. The collection consists of thick sweatshirts, strappy dresses, panelled leggings, boxy and structured outerwear, relaxed pants, crop tops and accessories like boxing gloves (and normal ones), beanies and duffle bags - with the signature "WANG" logo-ed on most pieces. I cant wait to get my hands on these gorgeous pieces especially the sweatshirts. (I've been in a sweatshirt phase lately!) 
I cant even begin to describe how strong this collection is! 

Read on to view the entire lookbook and tell me what you think of the collection in the comments section.

Mulberry store launch event, Dubai

Mulberry, the loved designer brand opened it's stand alone store at The Dubai Mall recently and celebrated the opening with a launch event at the store which was attended by many fashion enthusiasts in town. The event was hosted by the lovely fashion blogger, Nadya Hasan of The Fierce Diaries. It was a great event where we viewed the latest collection of bags and accessories from the brand and interacted with other fashionistas over all things fashion. A Mulberry craftsman was especially flown in for the event who gave an in-store demonstration of how the Mulberry bags are made. The gorgeous leathers in varied colours, which are used for making these beautiful bags was also on display. Look inside for more pictures from the event.

Kate Moss x Topshop collection review and favorite pieces

Our very own fashion icon, Kate Moss has returned to her designer duties and has designed a 46 piece spring/summer 2014 collection for Topshop after a gap of 4 years. It's a highly anticipated collection which oozes "Kate Moss" all over! The collection is divided into 4 parts: 

Balearic Islands (Moss's favorite summer destination) inspired pieces like smock dresses and laidback kaftans, Pyjama inspired dressing with silk/satin pieces and pyjama style jackets, Cocktail Hour dressing with intricately embroidered, beaded and fringed dresses and jackets and Tailoring Noir with menswear inspired pieces. 

This collection caters to all types of fashion sensibilities and aesthetics. I, personally love this collection. And what's not to love! Kate has worked hard for it and has paid a lot of attention to detailing, fabric, design, silhouette and cuts. 

Read on to catch a preview of some of my favorite pieces from the collection:

The History Of Oscar Awards Dresses

The Oscar fever still refuses to die down (courtesy: #PoorLeo)! That aside, we've seen a fabulous show, some amazing winners, of course the famous 'Oscar selfie', pizzas and some gorgeous red carpet gowns. Speaking of winners and gowns, the folks over at Mediarun Digital have created an infograph featuring all the best actress award winners over the years dating way back to the first awards ceremony on 1929 to the recent 2014 awards. How cool is that?

Have a look, lust over the gowns and tell me which are your favorites.

Splurge vs Steal

Ever walked into a store and saw something you couldn't take your eyes off and think you just have to buy it? But.... you look at the price, gasp, sigh and quietly put it back! It happens to everyone. How you wish you could magically zap all the lust-worthy clothes, accesories and shoes you see on your favorite celeb, on the runway, in a high end designer store or heck, even on Pinterest, right into your closet.

Trend Report: The Best Trends From The Fall 2013 Runways

The fall 2013 runways were every fashion lover's delight, filled with lust-worthy and exuberant collections. Every piece had "chic" written all over them. While designers had a new take on previous classic trends like leopard prints, plaid, peplum and leather, some new, unexpected yet fresh trends were also seen like white separates, rounded shoulders, feather detailing, gold outfits etc. The shoes were no less dreamy. Block heels, knee-high boots and loafer heels reminiscent of the 40s and 60s were dominant. Read on to find out the best of what you'll be wearing this fall: 

Trend Alert: High Top Sneakers

Look what finally arrived! My very own Michael Kors High Top sneakers! This trend has been a rage ever since Isabel Marant first came out with them in spring last year. She has re-invented and spiced up the classic flat sneaker and how! Since then, many other fashion brands like Marc Jacobs, Giuseppe Zanotti, Christian Louboutin, Lanvin, Michael Kors, Chloe and Ash to name a few, have come up with their own version of a high top sneaker. Sneakers have always been known for "comfort over fashion" but not anymore! These high top sneakers are as comfortable as they're trendy. Pair them with your favorite pair of jeans or shorts and elevate your outfit to several notches! 

So go grab a pair of your very own wedge sneakers which are available in affordable prices at your favorite high street stores like Zara, Mango, Topshop, River Island, Steve Madden. Target too has come up with Isabel Marant imitations. 

Let me know via the comments section what you think of this trend. Is is hot or not?
